SAN  FRANCISCO 


Thf  i0ueen  City  of  the  Pacific  Slope,  Guardian  of  the  Golden  Gatenvay  to  the  Far  Easty  the  Islands 
"^^n  of  the  Southern  Seas,  the  Frozen  Northland  and  the  Sunny  Ports  of  our  Sister  Continent 

By  a.   M.   Aluson 


1HE  historians  of  modem  or  ancient  times  have  never  re- 
corded such  a  maelstrom  of  terrified,  horror  and  panic- 
stricken  human  beings  as  awoke  to  the  realization  of  ihc 
master  seismic  tremblor,  in  the  City  of  San  Francisco  at  5 :  i  3 
on  the  morning  of  April  i8th,  1906.  The  initial  quake, 
being  followed  by  many  of  less  seventy,  tumbled  chim- 
neys, large  and  small  buildings  of  poor  or  faulty  construc- 
tion, broke  water  mains  and  ruptured  electric  light  and 
ctors,  causing  many  conrtagrations  in  a  few  moments.  Then 
Acd  a  catastrophe  unparalleled  in  modern  times,  a  disaster  beside  which, 
for  property  losses,  the  Chicago  fire,  the  Johnstown  flood,  the  Galveston  tidal 
wave,  the  Mont  Pelec  eruption,  Vesuvius'  spoutings  and  the  Baltimore  fire, 
fiide  into  infinitesimal  disturbances  on  the  records  of  Father  Time. 

In  three  days,  which  seemed  only  as  so  many  hours,  there  faded  out  of 
existence  noble  business  blocks,  grand  and  imposing  structures,  beautiful  and 
supcil)  residences  the  homes  of  the  Argonauts,  the  sea  kings,  mining  barons 
and  merchant  princes,  together  with  the  marts  and  dwellings  of  those  who  toil 
and  delve  and  go  down  to  the  sea  in  ships,  completely  desolating  and  razing  by 
fire  three-fourths  of  this  once  beautiful  metropolis  of  the  whole  Pacific  Coast 
on  either  the  northern  or  southern  continents. 

Nor  was  the  City  of  San  Francisco  alone  in  its  extremity,  for  many  smaller 
and  populous  towns  within  a  radius  of  sevenry-rivc  miles  were  subjected  to  the 
peril  oi  the  mighty  corkscrew  quakings,  Santa  Rosa  being  entirely  shaken 
down  J   Salinas,  San  Jose,   Palo  Alto,   Santa  Cruz,    Berkeley,    Alameda  and 


Oakland  all  suffering  great  property  losses  and  some  human  lives.  The  beauti- 
ful structures  i)(  the  Lcland  Stanford,  Jr. ,  University,  at  Palo  Alto,  all  erected 
and  endowed  to  a  sum  in  excess  of  $40,000,000  by  the  late  Senator  Lcland 
Stanford  and  his  philanthrophic  wife,  were  almost  completely  wrecked,  in- 
cluding the  Memorial  Cathedral,  which  contained  the  largest  and  finest 
collection  of  mosaic  pictures  on  the  Western  Hemisphere. 

At  no  point  in  the  affected  area  were  the  earthquake  shocks  so  severe  and 
destructive  as  in  the  down  town  district,  south  oi  Market  and  east  of  Kearny 
streets,  where  were  the  large  office  buildings,  newspaper  offices,  banks,  whole- 
sale stores  and  warehouses,  the  occupants  of  which  conducted  the  business, 
commerce  and  financial  engagements  of  not  only  the  major  portion  of  the 
Pacific  Slope,  but  a  large  and  constantly-growing  Oriental  trade  as  well.  The 
opportune  hour  of  the  morning  was  all  that  saved  the  lives  of  the  untold  thous- 
ands who  labored  there,  but  had  not  as  yet  left  their  homes  in  the  residence 
sections  of  the  ill-fated  city. 

Hardly  had  the  mighty  tremblor  ceased  Its  gj'rations  when  innumerable  fires 
broke  out  among  the  chaotic  ruins,  having  caught  from  engine  furnaces, 
broken  electric  wire  conduits  and  spontaneous  combustion,  fed  by  the  most 
inflammable  of  materials  and  fanned  by  a  stiff"  breeze  from  the  bay,  grew  and 
spread  into  what  shortly  became  the  most  stupendous  and  widespread,  as  well 
as  awe-inspiring  conflagration,  which  any  people  of  the  eighteenth  or  nine- 
teenth century  h.ivc  ever  as  yet  looked  upon  or  flown  from.  Had  the  water 
mains  not  li.:ve  been  ruptured,  the  splendid  San  Francisco  fire  department 
might  have  been  able  to  cope  with  these  many  outbursts  of  flame  at  their  in- 
ception, but  deprived  of  water  in  the  mains,  they  nobly  fought  the  appalling 


239 

[III] 


flames  by  pumping  water  from  the  bay  at  as  many  places  as  length  of  hose  and 
their  engines'  ability  would  permit ;  but  their  efforts  to  stay  the  onrushing, 
wide-spreading  flames  proved  as  a  match's  flicker  before  a  whirlwind. 

It  being  quickly  seen  that  the  panic-stricken  people  would  soon  become  a 
fleeing,  dazed  and  terror-awed  multitude,  General  Frederick  Funston,  com- 
manding the  Department  of  California,  United  States  Army,  with  headquarters 
at  the  Presidio,  immediately  ordered  out  the  cavalry,  infantry  and  artillery 
forces  under  his  command,  who  aideJ  and  directed  the  fleeing  populace,  gath- 
ered up  and  succored  the  wounded,  established  emergency  hospitals,  and  policed 
the  city.  At  the  same  time  men-of-wars-men  from  the  Mare  Island  Navy 
Yard,  consisting  of  the  battleship  Ohio,  the  cruiser  Chicago,  and  the  torpedo 
boat  destroyer  Paul  Jones,  together  with  the  ships  of  the  United  States  Army 
Transport  Service,  and  all  available  steam  craft,  attacked  the  flames  along  the 
water  front  and  succeeded  in  saving  much  wharfage  and  the  Ferry  building, 
which  is  the  principal  gateway  from  the  mainland. 

Aided,  ordered  and  guarded  by  the  United  States  Army  and  Marine  forces, 
assisted  by  the  California  National  Guard,  who  were  at  once  called  out  by  the 
Governor,  George  C.  Pardee,  the  excited  and  frenzied  San  Franciscans  made 
their  way  to  squares,  parks  and  the  open  hills,  over  two  hundred  thousand 
fleeing  to  these  places  of  refuge  and  another  hundred  thousand  making  their  way 
by  ferry-boats  and  other  craft  across  the  bay  to  the  cities  of  Berkeley,  Oakland 
and  Alameda,  caring  for  naught  except  to  get  away  from  the  awful  havoc  and 
destruction  of  the  place  they  once  proudly  called  their  City. 

In  untiring  efforts  to  stay  the  flames  the  army,  navy,  marine  corps  and  police 
used  artillery  fire,  gun-cotton,  dynamite  and  rhyoHte  in  back-firing,  sacrificing 
whole  blocks  of  splendid  residences  and  other  structures  to  retard  the  unquench- 
at'  •  ever-advancing  line  of  fire,  which  at  times  extended  unbroken  for  over 
thiee  miles  in  length.  At  last,  at  the  dawn  of  Saturday,  April  21st,  after  three 
days  and  nights  of  valiant  effort,  the  wind  subsided  and  the  flames  died  down  to 
rise  no  more;  tut  not  until  after  they  had  swept  the  once  proud  and  majestic 
city  from  the  Ferry  bu  Iding  to  Van  Ness  avenue,  ruining  all  the  residences  on 
the  west  side  of  that  broad,  stately  boulevard,  to  Twentieth  and  Guerrero  streets 
in  the  Mission,  and  from  the  waters  of  San  Francisco  bay  to  the  Golden  Gate 
itself.  Not  in  all  this  vast  section,  measuring  over  sixteen  square  miles,  did  one 
single  habitation  escape  the  shock  of  the  giant  tremblor  or  the  all-devouring 
flames,  with  but  a  few  exceptions,  viz.:  the  United  States  Mint,  the  United 
States  Custom  Houec,  the  United  States  Postoffice,  which  was  damaged  one- 


half  a  million  dollars'  worth  by  made-land  sinking  away  from  it,  the  new  un- 
finished newspaper  building  of  the  Chronicle,  and  the  new  building  of  the 
California  Casket  Companyjust  erected,  but  not  wood-finished.  Every  other 
building,  of  whatsoever  class,  kind  or  construction,  was  tumbled,  crumbled, 
shaken  down,  or  absolutely  gutted  by  the  fierce  flames  in  which  granite  dissolved 
to  powder  and  steel  beams  melted  and  buckled  like  a  watch's  freed  mainspring; 
where  cobble-stones  scaled  and  chipped  off  and  marble  slabs  disintegrated  and 
became  as  bone-dust  to  the  touch. 

No  computer  or  statistician  lives  who  could  accurately  arrive  at  the  mone- 
tary loss,  variously  estimated  at  from  three  hundred  and  fifty  to  four  hundred 
millions  of  dollars.  Nor  will  the  loss  of  human  life  ever  be  known,  said 
to  be  from  fifteen  hundred  to  two  thousand ;  many  more  are  known  to 
have  perished  in  the  lodging  houses  and  cheaper  hotels  located  in  the  district 
south  of  Market  street,  as  well  as  in  the  poorer  districts,  of  which  no  returns 
will  or  can  ever  be  made;  many  identities  were  lost  both  in  and  out  of  un- 
identified graves. 

On  the  cessation  of  the  first  quake  and  the  breaking  out  of  the  flames  all 
means  of  surface  transportation  was  rendered  useless,  except  the  automobile, 
which  did  good  and  swift  work  in  rescuing  the  wounded  and  carrying  the  living 
to  places  of  safety,  as  well  as  transporting  dynamite  and  other  high  explosives 
to  the  busy  fire-fighters,  also  rendering  invaluable  aid  in  getting  food  and  water 
to  the  refugee  camps  in  the  parks,  when  the  relief  trains,  so  generously  and 
beneficiently  forwarded  by  all  the  cities  of  the  land,  began  to  arrive  laden  with 
provisions  and  clothing  for  the  hungry  and  the  destitute.  The  sister  city,  Los 
Angeles,  which  by  her  nearness  was  enabled  to  supply  physicians,  nurses  and 
medical  supplies,  as  well  as  foodstuffs,  getting  the  first  relief  train  to  the 
stricken  city  on  the  night  of  the  first  day. 

Congress  appropriated  money,  private  citizens  throughout  the  broad  land 
gave  of  their  wealth.  Army  and  navy  stoies  and  the  cargoes  of  many  mer- 
chantmen in  the  harbor  were  all  made  available,  and  thus  famine  and  disease 
were  prevented  and  lives  which  would  have  flickered  and  then  passed  out  were 
saved,  encouraged  and  strengthened  for  the  monumental  task  of  raising  a 
grander,  greater,  safer  and  more  beautiful  New  San  Francisco  phoenix-like 
from  the  ashes  of  the  City  of  the  Forty-Nlners. 

These  are  the  words;  the  pi^'tures  tell  the  tale  much  better;  pictures  the 
like  of  which,  it  is  earnestly  hoped,  will  never  be  presented  by  any  camera 
again  while  the  earth  rolls  around.

SAN  FRANCISCO'S  HONOR  ROLL 


BRILLiANT 


AM)  SKU -SACRIFICING  WORK  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  OF  ONE   MLTNDRED   WHO   STOOD 
BV    rilEIR    BELOVED   CITY   IN  THE  HOUR  OF  HER    DARKEST   PERIL 


MAYOR    SCHMir/    AND    HIS   COWORKERS,    GENERAL   FUNSTON    AND   THE    HoYS    IN    BLUE,    THE 
SALVA  riON    OF   A  STRICKEN    CITY 


I  FTER  the  Earth  jumped  back  on  its  track  at  5:13:47  on 
the  mnming  oC  Wednesday,  April  i8th,  1906,  the  citizens 
t'  San  Francisco  came  down  on  their  feet  in  fighting  mood, 
<nd  the  success  of  that  right  has  aroused  the  wundcr  and 
admiration  of  the  entire  world.  Being  true  sons  of  their 
fathera  they  showed  the  thoroughbred  strain  in  time  of  stress 
,  did  those  fathers  before  them.  There  was  no  denying  the 
fact  that  many  thought  it  the  end  of  time,  listened  for  the  trumpet  of  Gabriel 
to  echo  through  the  crash  of  worlds,  and  looked  toward  the  heavens  to  see 
the  angel  with  the  flaming  sword,  but  they  stood  to  mret  it  like  men,  backed 
as  thrv-  were  against  the  wall.  When  walls  ceased  falling  and  they  had  rubbed 
the  dust  from  their  eyes,  they  found  that  they  still  lived;  it  was  then  that  they 
shut  their  jaws  and  began  to  fight.  They  have  been  righting  ever  since  and 
will  continue  to  right  until  San  Francisco  shall  have  been  restored  even  beyond 
the  dreams  of  those  fathen. 

The  first  effective  work  began  with  Mayor  Eugene  £.  Schmitz  and  the 
members  of  the  Police  Commission,  who  had  quickly  assembled  at  the  Hall  of 
Justice.  It  was  a  time  when  no  man  could  stop  to  think  twice;  immediate 
action  must  be  taken;  action  that  must  bs  absolutely  correct  on  the  fint 
thought.  The  first  official  action  was  tu  send  out  police  to  ciose  each  and 
every  taloon. 

Everywhere  the  streets  were  filled  with  the  debris  of  fallen  walls  and  cob- 
webbed  with  a  tangle  of  danf;ling  wires,  among  which  half  a  million  of  people 
stood  numb  and  dazed  or  groped  their  way  blindly,  not  knowing  where  to  go 
nor  what  to  do.      In  a  dozen  widely  scattered  localities  smoke  devils  were  danc- 


ing from  roof  to  roof  and  people  gave  way  mechanically  for  the  clanging  appa- 
ratus rushing  wildly  to  the  fires. 

In  collapsed  buildings  there  were  many  dead,  but  'Met  the  dead  care  for  the 
dead;**  there  were  thssc  yet  living  pinned  under  fallen  walls  and  beams. 
There  were  hundreds  and  hundreds  of  injured  to  be  succored.  There  were 
hundreds  of  millions  of  dollars  in  shattered  banks,  the  savings  of  the  people,  to 
be  guarded  against  the  time  when  some  men  go  mad  and  seize  on  the  posses- 
sions of  a  neighbor  as  one  crazed  brute  snaps  at  another.  That  was  the  situa- 
tion, in  brief,  that  confronted  the  Mayor,  the  Police  Commission  and  the  six 
hundred  policemen  of  San  Francisco,  a  handful  to  cope  with  disaster  by  earth- 
quake, fire,  and  the  elements  of  chaos  that  a  city  of  half  a  million  breeds. 

The  Mayor  and  the  Police  Commission  had  barely  entered  into  conference 
when  this  message  came  to  them  from  Brigadier  General  Frederick  Funston: 
**Do  you  need  help?"  Did  they.'  '*Ves,  send  all  the  troops  you  can,"  was 
the  reply  dispatched  with  all  the  haste  of  a  city's  need.  Then  the  conference 
went  on.  It  was  brief.  The  situation  demanded  the  co-operation  of  the 
emirc  city. 

A  Citizens  Committee  of  Safety  was  hurriedly  decided  upon,  and  the  Mayor 
compiled  the  following  **Committee  of  One  Hundred"  of  the  prominent  citi- 
zens of  the  city  in  all  walks  of  life:  Mayor  Eugene  E  Schmitz,  chairman; 
Rufus  P.  Jennings,  secretary;  Frank  B.  Anderson,  Hugo  K.  Ashcr,  W.  J, 
Bartnett,  Maurice  Block,  Hugh  M.  Burke,  Albert  E.  Castle,  Arthur  H.

Jr.,  R.  B.  Hale,  William  Greer  Harrison,  J.  Downey  Harvey,  I.  W.  Hell- 
man,  Jr.,  Francis  J.  Heney,  William  F.  Herrln,  Dr.  Marcus  Herzstein, 
Howard  Holmes,  J.  R.  Howell,  Judge  John  Hunt,  D.  V.  Kelly,  Homer  S. 
King,  George  A.  Knight,  Franklin  K.  Lane,  Herbert  E.  Law,  W.  H. 
Leahy,  J.  J.  Lerman,  C.  H.  Maddox,  Frank  Maestretti,  Thomas  Magee, 
W.  A.  Magee,  John  S.  Mahoney,  John  Martin,  Garret  McEnerney,  John 
McLaren,  John  McNaught,  S.  B.  McNear,  William  M.  Metson,  Arch- 
bishop Montgomery,  E.  F.  Moran,  Irving  F.  Moulton,  Thornwall  MuIUlly, 
S.  G.  Murphy,  Bishop  Nichols,  Father  O'Ryan,  James  D.  Phelan,  Albert 
Pissis,  Willis  Polk,  Allan  Pollok,  E.  B.  Pond,  H.  B.  Ramsdell,  James  Reid, 
J.  B.  Reinstein,  David  Rich,  Dent  H.  Robert,  J.  B.  Rogers,  John  W. 
Rogers,  Andrea  Sbarboro,  Henry  T.  Scott,  W.  P.  Scott,  Frank  Shea,  S.  M. 
Shortridge,  Glaus  Spreckels,  Rudolph  Spreckels,  I.  Steinhart,  Gustav  Sutro, 
W.  W.  Thurston,  Clem  Tobin,  George  Tourny,  Fred  Ward,  Charles  S. 
Wheeler,  Thomas  P.  Woodward,  and  John  P.  Young. 

These  names  with  addresses  from  the  City  Directory,  were  at  once  placed 
in  the  hands  of  a  detail  of  policemen,  a  few  names  to  each  member  of  the 
squad,  w'irh  instructions  to  have  the  Committee  at  the  Hall  of  Justice  by  3 
o'clock  in  the  afternoon. 

This  work  had  barely  been  commenced  when  the  rhythmic  tramp,  tramp, 
tramp,  of  many  feet  was  heard  on  the  street,  as  column  after  column  of  the 
blue-shirted  lads  swung  by,  each  carrying  a  short  Krag  rifle  with  a  belt  of  ball 
cartridges.  Their  officers  reported  to  the  Chief  of  Police,  who  assigned  each 
a  district  to  patrol  and  detailed  a  policeman  to  guide  each  command  to  its  post. 
No  one  not  on  Market  Street  or  in  the  downtown  district  at  that  time  can 
appreciate  the  feeling  of  relief  that  came  over  all  as  those  silent,  quiet,  business- 
like boys  swung  by  with  the  steadiness  and  precision  of  a  machine,  passing 
under  tottering  walls  and  entering  the  danger  zone  with  dynamite  and  gun- 
cotton  to  raze  buildings  from  the  path  of  the  fire. 

The  deeds  of  heroism  and  the  courage  displayed  by  regulars,  militiamen, 
police,  firemen,  and  civilian  volunteers  on  the  iSth  and  19th  will  never  be 
told  J  they  can  not  be.  They  were  occurring  constantly,  a  dozen  in  a  block, 
throughout  the  city,  and  there  was  no  time  for  names  or  details.  Firemen, 
regulars,  police,  and  civilian  volunteers  worked  in  the  heat  and  smoke  and 
noxious  gases  until  they  were  overcome  and  fell  in  their  tracks.      They  were 


back  and  others  stepped  into  the  breach,  to  be  dragged  back  in  turn 
when  they  fell.  Firemen  fought  with  the  determination  of  despair  and  cried 
like  children  when  the  failure  of  water  deprived  them  of  their  weapon. 

Before  the  hour  set  for  the  meeting  of  the  Citizens'  Commi.tee  the  entire 
city  was  threatened  with  destruction.  The  sky  was  obscured  with  a  pal  of 
smoke  through  which  swung  the  sun  like  a  blood-red  ball ;  great  sheets  of 
flame  writhed  and  swirled  through  the  smoke,  and  underneath  all  300,000 
men,  women  and  children  fled  for  their  lives,  tottering  under  their  most  valu- 
able possessions,  while  100,000  more  were  preparing  for  flight.  That  was 
the  situation  when  the  above  named  citizens  met  at  the  Hall  of  Justice  at  the 
call  of  ihe  Mayor  at  three  o'clock  on  the  afternoon  of  the  i8th. 

They  assembled  first  in  the  office  of  the  Chief  of  Police,  but  another  shock 
threatened  to  bring  the  tower  down  on  their  heads  and  drove  them  to  the  office 
of  the  central  station,  in  the  basement,  and  it  was  not  long  before  they  were 
driven  from  there  to  Portsmouth  Square.  There  in  the  open  air  surrounded 
by  thousands  of  frightened  Chinese  and  residents  of  the  district,  was  the  seat  of 
municipal  government  during  the  late  afternoon  and  early  evening.  Then  a 
dynamited  building  cast  its  debris  of  bricks,  mortar  and  broken  glass  over  the 
square,  and  government  and  advisory  committee  hastily  adjourned  to  the  Fair- 
mount  Hotel  on  Knob  Hill.  Headquarters  had  been  established  there  but  a 
short  time  when  it  was  driven  back  by  the  advancing  wall  of  fire  and  an  ad- 
journment was  taken  until  Thursday  morning  at  9  o'clock,  to  meet  at  the 
north  end  police  station,  1712  Washington  street. 

When  the  Mayor,  Police  Commission  and  Citizens'  Committee  of  One  Hun- 
dred met  Thursday  morning,  the  following  sub-committees  were  appointed  and 
immediately  commenced  work  :

Martial  law  having  been  declared,  one  of  the  first  orders  of  the  Citizens' 
\Cpmmirtee  was  embodied  in  the  fint  proclamation  of  the  Mayor:    "Troops 


and  police  are  authoriiro  10  ki  i  ..n  sight  any  person  or  persons  caught  looting." 
Alter  that  there  were  occasional  reports  in  the  burned  districts;  they  may  have 
Iwrcn  exploding  automobile  tires — no  one  stopped  to  inquire.  Anyway,  there 
A-as  no  further  looting. 

The  sub-committees  had  barely  time  to  organize  when  the  fire  swept  over 
the  hills  and  they  were  again  driven  out.  The  Mayor  issued  an  order  that  all 
records  saved  and  the  municipal  government  be  removed  to  the  Police  Station 
at  H.iight  and  Stanyan  Streets,  far  out  by  Golden  Gate  Park,  for  a  last  stand. 
At  the  same  time  he  ordered  an  adjournment  of  all  committees  to  Franklin 
Hall,  at  the  corner  of  Bush  and  Fillmore  Streets,  thus  establishing  headquar- 
ters as  near  the  fire  line  as  practicable.  If  burned  out  there  his  orders  were 
for  all  to  rally  at  the  Park  Police  Station. 

That  was  at  noon  on  Thursday;  within  thirty  hours  the  Committee  had  been 
organized  by  men  who  left  their  property  to  destruction  and  within  the  same 
length  of  time  the  committee  had  been  burned  out  four  times  and  located  the 
fifth  headquarters.  The  city  had  been  policed  by  regulars,  militiamen  and 
volunteers,  and  the  most  disastrous  fire  in  history  was  under  control. 

The  care  of  the  injured,  the  feeding  of  the  hungry  and  the  housing  of  the 
homeless  were  the  first  consideration  of  the  Committees,  and  for  the  first  day 
or  two  all  else  was  subordinated  to  these  works  of  mercy. 

It  M-ill  require  a  large  book  to  tell  the  details  of  the  work  of  these  com- 
mittees, each  being  aided  by  hundreds  of  volunteers.  Each  member  of  a  com- 
mittee being  vested  wi;h  police  powers,  and  automobiles,  carriages  and  wagons  of 
all  kinds  were  impressed  wherever  found;  their  loads  were  dumped  on  the  side- 
walks and  filled  with  the  injured  or  medical  and  food  supplies,  the  vehicles 
hurried  on  to  destinations  named  by  the  committeemen. 

The  rapid'ty  with  which  the  Committee  effected  an  organization  and  re- 
lieved the  suffering  and  hunger  of  nearly  300,000  people  is  noteworthy. 
Changing  headquaners  five  times  and  organizing  and  planning  as  the  members 
fled  along  the  streets  was  no  easy  task,  but  it  was  accomplished  and  for  nearly 
a  week  these  committees  arranged  and  cared  for  the  homeless  multitude. 

The  rapidity  with  which  organization  was  effected  and  order  enforced,  is 
what  amazes  the  knowing  world  today.  It  was  done  by  citizens  of  San 
Francisco,  backing  up  their  executive  with  their  lives  and  their  fortunes,  and 
back  of  them  stood  their  friends  in  the  breadth  and  length  of  these  whole 
United  Sutes.      As  did  the  fathers  of  fifty  years  ago,  so  did  the  soiu  of  today.
